Mikado easily ranks in the top 5 best sushi restaurants in the GTA, despite it's out-of-the-way location (parking at the back through a narrow alley). However, if you're looking for kooky and creative sushi rolls, this isn't exactly the right spot-- Mikado is about sushi in it's purest sense, as you'll come to appreciate after skimming the "sushi etiquette" pamphlet at the back of your menu.
So what exactly does that mean? First off, no extra sauces on top of your rolls or shock value ingredients like pineapple or bacon-- just simple, straight forward and tremendously well made sushi. Even though I'm a lover of the 'crazy rolls' myself, I definitely didn't miss anything while enjoying the purist fare with the delicious house-made soy sauce.
In sum, Mikado is a must-visit spot for any Toronto sushi connoisseur and a good take off point for newbies looking to try more 'authentic' sushi without breaking the bank.
